Is DA done?

watfly said:
According to our club's email the Southwestern DA clubs are trying to put together a 10 month program. We shall see.

I think its a mistake not to include a south county option with either CV FC/DV7 or Rebels. What's the over/under of how many parents are going to call Sharks for a tryout? I'll put it at 100.

ECNL program is already a 10 month season, what would they be trying to add?????

Also, the last line of the ECNL announcement indicates there will be additional teams added to ECNL

"Additional new clubs for the ECNL Boys 2020-2021 season will be announced in the coming days."

FCGS jumped the gun on press release. The rest are waiting to post theirs. This also is happening in PNW, TX, CO, FL... Some great new changes to ECNL as well to make this happen. I'll elaborate in a minute.

They were already in ECNL previously

Pat's decided they need to get in ECNL also to keep up with Jones I guess but I didn't see they need for them to do so since they were already in NPL but got to keep the $$ rolling in or something.
 
If I’m at Albion or nomads or whoever I’d sit tight. You still have a good team and will play in a good league. College coaches come to the big tournaments. You’re fine. Ecnl is just another league. Lots of good teams not in it.

Yeah good for those clubs,

Your now1-3 as Pat's decided they wanted in. GS was already in and no MLS so your average is .333 which is not bad for MLB.

GS DA wasn't but now they are. They'll have 2 teams. You'll see. No hard feelings. They've joined

I was a little confused about that as well. I see FCGS already has a team in ECNL SW division, but somehow they were also included in this morning's PR as one of the six additional new clubs.

This is a fantastic post and such a great suggestion. I would only add the wrinkle that MLS was never really on the same page as US Soccer in terms of the mission (US Soccer is a non-profit with no authority over the wealthy owners of MLS teams) of developing kids for USMNT...which is probably why MLS is going its own way now. If there was a unified structure where your pro/rel league included USL teams in smaller markets and places where there is no pro team (Phoenix, San Diego, Sacramento), it may really winnow the best to the top while giving so many other excellent players specific goals and professional training.

Agreed about USL teams in smaller markets; great idea. We have to move to what Europe does and eliminate the politics. I spent some time over there talking to one of the leading youth academy directors. He told me flat out that our country and we had so much potential but we were ruining it with politics.
 
I don't get it. Why are they announcing FCGS as a new club if they already were in ECNL? Does that mean FCGS will have two teams per age group or something?

Also, I was hopping Eagles would get in as well.

Nice try but not even close you got a single with the pats and that about that.

Well that's like saying Boeing Max is being put back in service since other models are still flying.

Whatever DA teams played on the past are just that. New season new teams new players new coaches in case you don't follow along. 2-3 or more teams doesn't change that.
